I'm so weird =P I finished more than half of the sequel before I even thought of what the ending should be like. -__-'
School started on Tuesday… T_T I hate the first week of school. We have to lug all of our textbooks home and the buses are loaded down with confused pixies. Also, our bus stop has 26 people! That's about 7 times more people than the other bus stops. o_O
The disclaimer is the same as last chapter.
Sheik and Zelda are different people and both female.

Marth let out a muffled groan as he slowly regained consciousness. His head throbbed with pain and he thought, "What happened? Did I have a hangover or something?" Marth tried opening his eyes, but his eyelids felt like heavy weights. After finally managing to open his eyes, Marth flinched and squeezed them shut due to the extremely bright lightbulb hanging above him. "So much for trying to open my eyes," he thought, grimacing.
After Marth's eyes adjusted to the intensity of the lightbulb, he studied his unfamiliar surroundings. He was in what appeared to be a laboratory of some sort. On the other side of the gloomy room, he could make out three people, two porcelain doll-like teenage girls and an old man, muttering gibberish while huddling over a computer. Marth tried sitting up and asking them what happened to him, but was shocked to find out that his entire body was bound to a hard, metallic table and that that his mouth was taped shut with duct tape, which had been wrapped around the table he was lying on.
The rigidity of the table made Marth's back sore. Marth shifted around to try to find a comfortable position, but sudden jolt of pain in his shoulder caused his body to stiffen and a muffled moan to slip through his mouth. One of the girls crouched over the computer must have heard Marth's moan. She turned around, her green eyes narrowed and her long brown curls fanning around her smooth face. Marth's eyes widened as he recognized the girl as Victoria. His heart thudded as a sinister smirk appeared on Victoria's face and as she turned around to whisper something to the other female.
Marth wasn't able to catch what the girls were saying, but he could hear the old man hoarsely whisper, "He's ready." Marth's heart quickened its pace when he saw the male hand Victoria three syringes. Marth struggled against the binds but only succeeded in making his shoulder hurt even more. Victoria approached him slowly, as a killer would advance towards its victim.
"Have fun," hissed the doll-girl as she stabbed one of the three syringes into Marth's arm. Marth's mind clouded over with drowsiness. The last thing he felt before slipping into the darkness was the tip of the second needle entering the area below his collarbone.
A sudden jolt of pain in Marth's head yanked him from the verge of unconsciousness. He let out a muffled scream as the pain spread from his mind to the rest of his body. The shock left him sweating and gasping for breath.
Once he caught his breath, Marth looked up to see Victoria looming over him, holding the final syringe in her hand.
"Sweet dreams," taunted Victoria as the third needle made its way into Marth's uninjured shoulder. Marth's vision blurred and he blacked out.

Back at Smash Mansion, the Smashers had calmed down, the training room had been blocked off, and Samus, Captain Falcon, and Snake were now investigating.
Samus scanned the floor hoping to find just a single shard of evidence to recover the missing prince. She felt dazed, as if this entire incident was just a dream that she would soon wake up from. She had hoped to be able to go on a date with him someday or at least tell Marth that she loved him, but now that would only be a dream.
"Any luck, you guys?" asked Snake.
"'Fraid not," replied Captain Falcon.
"Samus?" asked Snake.
Samus's blue eyes scanned the floor. "Nothing…" she answered, hopelessly. Snake sighed and Captain Falcon murmured, "We're going nowhere with-"
Snake's gruff voice interrupted Captain Falcon. "Wait a sec, what's that?" he asked, pointing to a small chipped piece of pale, skin colored porcelain lying next to Marth's broken sword.
Samus and Captain Falcon cautiously approached the chip as if it would explode if someone got too close to it. Samus picked it up with a pair of tweezers and stuck it in a plastic sandwich bag for further investigating.
After a little more than an hour of boring scans and processes, the trio met with Master Hand to tell him what they discovered.
"You found out who was responsible for this?" Master Hand had questioned them with a booming voice.
"Yeah, while I was searching the training room, I found something that looks like a piece of china." replied Samus. "I processed the little piece and found this." Samus opened a minimized window on the computer. On there was a picture of a shiny skinned girl with reddish-brown curls and Victorian-style clothing. On the top left hand corner of the window was a small picture of an old man with a frizzy white hairstyle.
"The chip came from this girl," explained Samus. "She's Victoria Manny, the first creation by Professor Lee Manny from Dimenstrum Science Facility. Professor Manny spent four years researching robotics and nanotechnology in order to create a robotic porcelain doll, which he named Victoria, for war purposes. By using nanotechnology, Manny made Victoria as smart and emotional as any other human. However, Dimenstrum didn't agree with Manny's ideas and they kicked him out of the facility. Manny then disappeared for around six years. However, when he suddenly returned, he used Victoria and a two new dolls of his, Edwina and Mercy, to destroy the Dimenstrum Science Facility. He blamed them for overlooking his intelligence.
"After destroying the facility, Manny killed everyone on a space station and occupied it, using the station as his secret laboratory. Manny was rumored to have a cloaking device he used in order to hide from other people. There, he created the rest of his army. Manny's location was unknown until a little less than two years ago, when a small explosion in space temporarily shut down his cloaking device. I was able to track down where the explosion happened, and I still have the file saved on my computer. Should we go and try to find Marth there?"
Master Hand hesitated. Then he responded, "Take Link, Fox, Kirby, Sheik, Falco, and Meta Knight with you. Be careful, please. I don't need any more injured smashers."
"We're on it," replied Snake, and the trio went to round up the others.
